Description Bill Peck 2004-03-09 20:08:02 UTC
Description of problem:
The commented line is the original and the one that works is added
after.  Basicly we need the </dev/null to keep su from asking if you
want to switch to another context. 

#su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA -s -m fast" >
/dev/null 2>&1
su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA -s -m fast"
</dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
